By: Mono Machines Security This shredder sports a level 4 security which means that no one is going to be able to read your documents. A level 3 in generally sufficient for most environments but the level 4 provides that extra level of security. An added bonus with this machine is that because the shreds are smaller, they take up less space so you’ll be able to shred more paper before you have to dump out the bin. This will save you time and money (when it comes to bags). Shredable Material The GBC Swingline SX12-08 Micro-Cut Shredder can shred Paper, Paper Clips, Staples. If you need to be able to shred something else then we recommend that you look at a larger machine and/or look for something with a little bit lower security (the higher the security the less likelihood that the machine shreds something other than paper). Continuous Motor. This shredder is not rated for continuous use. That simply means that you will have to shut the machine down after a certain period of time to let it cool off. Now don’t let this scare you away because most people will never reach that point unless they just sit down and start shredding and shredding and shredding. If you plan on doing all your shredding at one sitting then it is highly recommended that you get a machine with a continuous duty motor, otherwise you’re just fine. Bin Size At 8 gallons, the GBC Swingline SX12-08 Micro-Cut Shredder is a personal/deskside machine. You won’t be able to shred too much before you have to empty it, but presumably you won’t be shredding that frequently. If you will, we recommend that you jump up to something with a bigger bin size. Throat Size With a 9 inch throat this shredder gets the job done but doesn’t leave much room for error. Your paper will fit in just fine but you’ll just need to make sure that it doesn’t bunch up and cause problems. If you have odd sized paper, you may want to think about getting something with a larger throat. Warranty The GBC Swingline SX12-08 Micro-Cut Shredder comes with a 2 Year Limited Warranty, 1 year on cutters. This means that you have plenty of time to test out the machine and make sure that everything is running smoothly. Just make sure to properly care for your machine and you shouldn’t have any issues. Price With an MSRP of $659.00 this shredder is not the cheapest around but remember to NEVER pay the full amount. You can find discounts of up to 50% off if you look around on the web. About the Manufacturer ACCO Brands Corporation became an independent publicly traded company on August 17, 2005. The Company was formed through the spin-off of the ACCO World office products unit of Fortune Brands and its subsequent merger with General Binding Corporation (GBC). This transaction brought together the complementary businesses, brands and strengths of ACCO and GBC to form the world's largest supplier of branded office products – a global office products powerhouse. As a highly focused office products company, we are now uniquely positioned to capitalize on the opportunities for growth in our industry. Manufacturer Jargon The Swingline Jam Free Series offers extra-intelligent technology. The shredder opening illuminates RED to warn when there is too much paper inserted. Simply remove paper to continue shredding. No time wasted, no mess made. Also includes super-quiet operation, easy-to-use controls. Shreds paper clips and staples. So as I mentioned before, we think that the GBC Swingline SX12-08 Micro-Cut Shredder is a worthy competitor and deserves a second look.

I also wanted to remind you that real-world conditions do not always produce the same results that you might expect from the listed specs. Happy Shredding!
